The Houthis claimed that the missile has a circular error probable (CEP) between 5 and 10 meters. However, it is likely an exaggeration.
Moreover, the Houthis targeted a gathering of the Saudi-bakced pro-Hadi forces north of Midid desert near Jizan with two Zilzal-1 rockets. According to the Yemeni al-Masirah news TV channel, many pro-Hadi fighters were killed or injured in the strikes.

A Zilzal-1 is a locally made improvised rocket-assisted munition (IRAM). The Zilzal-1 range is believed to be no more than few kilometers, up to 10km tops. However, the Zilzal-1 has a heavy warhead of over 100kg at least.
